Y’all should stop comparing ďying from poverty to Darwin's “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age NOT by any natural shortage of resources.
In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.
But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
